Closed-end funds are special income vehicles, with many positive aspects and just as many weaknesses that take time to be properly understood and evaluated. I discovered their existence about ten years ago, and over time, I became convinced of their worth by developing a personal method of selection based mainly on NAV performance. This is an analytical, data-driven approach which I then extended to other types of securities in my portfolio, namely ETFs and BDCs.

RVT is a closed-end fund that primarily invests in the small-cap space and invests in companies that have strong fundamentals and the potential to provide high growth. Besides growth potential, currently, the fund yields nearly 7.4%, making it a good investment for income investors. With the potential for year-end higher payouts, the yield can be even higher. With interest rates set to decline, this fund is likely to do well in 2025, even if rates decline at a slower pace than previously thought.

Total Return is a percentage measure reflecting the total performance of a fund, incorporating both capital gains and the effect of dividends reinvested over a specific period. Net Asset Value is the value of an investment fund, determined by subtracting liabilities from assets. The fund's per-share NAV is found by dividing NAV by number of shares outstanding. A positive Total Return with a negative NAV performance creates dissonance in my opinion, whereas having both values positive gives a favorable indication of the quality of a fund.
